Will this work? Acid 4.0 & FL Studio? -ACID Product Family

Subject:Will this work? Acid 4.0 & FL Studio? Posted by: buckaroo Date:9/11/2003 1:21:56 PM I have Acid Pro 4.0e and used FL Studio 4 "Inside" Acid as a VSTi (next best thing to Rewire as both are synced) The annoying thing is having to keep opening up FL (as a VSTi) and editing the sequence etc in its playlist and then closing, and doing the same with Acid (having to rememeber the bars etc so things happen together) Can you get round this by havin 2 monitors in the 1 PC? i have a dual monitor graphics card, so i could in theory have Acid running on the One Monitor and the full FL Studio Screen on the other?? would make life easier!! - Can this be done with VSTi's etc? if so how do i go about setting up with a second monitor?

They have ACID's main window on one monitor and anything else on the other (like various windows like the soft synth properties, the Explorer and the Chopper).

I have Acid Pro 4.0e and used FL Studio 4 "Inside" Acid as a VSTi (next best thing to Rewire as both are synced)

The annoying thing is having to keep opening up FL (as a VSTi) and editing the sequence etc in its playlist and then closing, and doing the same with Acid (having to rememeber the bars etc so things happen together)

Can you get round this by havin 2 monitors in the 1 PC? i have a dual monitor graphics card, so i could in theory have Acid running on the One Monitor and the full FL Studio Screen on the other??
